Chapter 143: Rupture (8)
After the new moon woke up from the dream, but she was not in a hurry to open her eyes, as if when she opened her eyes, there would be a lot of things that would find her, and she still enjoyed this moment of peace.
Mama Wang stretched out her hand and touched Xinyue's forehead, Xinyue's head was a little hot and a little weak, Xinyue grabbed Mama Wang's hand, "Mama, I'm fine." ”
"The slave has boiled some medicine, you will drink it later." Mama Wang relaxed the strength in her hand and held Xinyue's hand with her backhand.
"What about Minhui? Up? Crescent asked.
"Well, Miss Hui is already up. However, Miss Minhui, like you, is a little uncomfortable. ”
"What? Minhui is uncomfortable? Saying that, Xinyue wanted to sit up, but was stopped by Mama Wang, "Girl, you said yesterday that these things need to be digested slowly by Miss Hui herself." There was no discomfort in her body, but the whole person was wilted and a little sleepy, and the slave had already cooked porridge for her, and Miss Hui drank a little, but she didn't eat much. ”
"Yes, she's going to have to get used to it for a while. You ask Cui'er and Mo'er to take good care of her, and take her around the neighborhood more. I was explaining to the farmers on the Zhuangzi. As long as Minhui wants to go out for a walk, follow her at any time, follow her closely, but don't restrict her too much. ”
"Yes" Xinyue also explained these words yesterday, and if I say it today, it is just to reassure myself.
After arranging everything, the new moon was still lying on the bed, and the whole person was wilted.
The days of "calm" have begun again, whether the new moon wants to or not, but this calm can be maintained for a long time. The crescent moon knows that this is the calm before the storm.
The news of Zhenbei Hou's death soon spread throughout Jinling. The funeral is already being arranged in an orderly manner.
And in the palace, although His Majesty ordered to stop as much as possible, the Queen Mother in the palace still knew. She was already able to get out of bed and walk, but she was so sick that she couldn't get out of bed anymore. Xinyue asked to see her again, but she was still refused, but His Majesty sent a message that without waiting for Xinyue to enter the palace to request, Xinyue could take care of her two children, although Xinyue was worried, but it was also good news for her.
Soon after, Xinyue received a letter from Cao's sister-in-law. Said that he had received something from Xinyue, and thanked Xinyue for arranging things outside, Xinyue looked at a very luxurious bracelet that was sent with the letter, and asked "Girl, what are you laughing at?" ”
"I laugh, feng shui takes turns, sister-in-law Cao, you are really polite to me, put this away, and then send this letter to Minhui." As she spoke, Xinyue handed the bracelet and the letter written by the Cao family to Minhui.
"Girl, you forgot, today is the day of spring planting, you asked Fei'er to take Miss Hui to the farmer's field to see them go to sow seeds." Feng'er said to Xinyue as she put away the bracelet.
Crescent Moon nodded, "Yes, I forgot about it." Let her go, and it will feel good to play outside. By the way, we're going to mourn the town of Beihou tomorrow, right? ”
"Yes, Zhenbei Hou will also be funeral tomorrow, let's go over early in the morning." The new moon is lazy these days, it stands to reason that it should be mourning, and then going to the funeral, like the new moon to go to the funeral on the day of the funeral, it is rare.
"I don't want to go into the city twice, it's tiring to travel." Xinyue put down the book in her hand and read the book for a morning, got off the bed, put on her shoes, and walked to the door, Feng'er first put the cloak on Xinyue, but Xinyue blocked her hand, "The weather is getting hotter and hotter, let's put this cloak away." ”
"In a few days, we will start harvesting spring tea, and when we drink this year's spring tea, it's not too late to put away the cloak and leather goods." Mama Wang took the crescent moon cloak from Feng'er and draped it over her shoulders.
"Mama. How's it going? When Xinyue saw that there was dust on Mama Wang's skirt, she knew that she had just come from behind.
"I'm still cleaning up, since the girl wants to go out for a walk, why don't you go and have a look?" Mama Wang asked.
"Okay" Xinyue sat all morning, and the more she sitted, the more tired she became, and she had to go out for a walk.
So the master and the servant went out of the courtyard and went to the western court.
When this village was built, it was built exactly according to the preferences of the eldest princess.
When she was young, the eldest princess of Yining, with her mother, who was not favored, lived in the long palace of the Eastern Capital, a place called Le Qi Palace.
The Leqi Hall is not large, only two large rooms, and a small courtyard, and there is not even a garden in the middle.
But in such a small place, there are three concubines.
It's not because the first emperor is lustful, there are many concubines.
Instead, they are unfavored concubines, and they can only live near Flawed Lane, in a few palaces that are not big.
And Blemished Lane, although it has a nice name, is a place where palace maids, eunuchs, and even concubines who make mistakes are imprisoned. And Leqi Palace is at the exit of Flaw Lane, only a wall away from Flaw Lane, which is known as the Cold Palace.
Therefore, the young eldest princess thought that she must build a large courtyard in the future, with a large open space as a garden.
Later, the eastern capital Changgong encountered a fire, the first emperor moved the capital to Jinling, and built the current palace city on the palace group of the previous dynasty, and the eldest princess also got a gorgeous palace room with the different identities of her brother.
But the village she designed and built with her own hands still continued her usual idea, and there were rooms like stars in the open space. When the new moon came to this village, she also discovered this shortcoming at the first time.
After a year's adjustment, the crescent moon shrunk the village, and divided the places where people lived in the left and right courtyards, and built a high wall outside the courtyard.
And the original vacant land, where flowers and trees have been planted, has been divided into a garden, and the north, before the time to plant flowers and plants, is vacant, here is not only abandoned a large area of fertile land, but also become the most difficult place to defend in Beizhuang, the bedroom of the crescent, the reason why Liang Wei, Rong Ying as if nothing trespassing, are from the denser forest further north, through this flat land, across two not tall courtyard walls, around the pond, and finally to the bedroom of the crescent.
As a result, in the spring of this year, this vacant land has become the focus of the crescent moon to be rebuilt.
Uncle Wang and Uncle Wang's son Wang Dazheng stood on the left and right, Uncle Wang, as the overseer, did not dare to be sloppy for a moment, while Wang Da held the line in his hand, cooperating with the servants at the other end, measuring a straight line.
"Girl, why did you come here yourself?" Because there were many craftsmen and farmers from outside, Uncle Wang ran over as soon as he saw the crescent moon.
"Uncle Wang, you can be careful, when you are old, it is not a trivial matter to fall." Seeing that Uncle Wang was still walking like a fly, Xinyue still couldn't help but worry in her heart.
"Slaves are people who are used to doing their work, and they are fine." Uncle Wang shook his hands and thanked Xinyue for his concern.
"I'm in the room, and it's boring to sit. Just now, Mama went back and said that this place has almost been tidied up, so I will come over to take a look. ”
"Yes, it's pretty much done. Except for the medicine field in the west, all the wasteland has been turned over and can be planted. ”
"Well, then I asked you to find someone who can move over, how is the arrangement?" Xinyue thought so, since this is a large open space, it is better to connect with the village where the farmers gather not far away, so that the farmers can build houses outside the open space and live in it, which will naturally form a barrier.
"Yes, the slave has already discussed with the village chief, and according to the girl's arrangement, three families can be moved over. The last house can be connected to the farmer's house on the very edge, and the first one is built on the edge of the dense forest, which just encloses the courtyard wall of our place, and there will be no more unattended space, but it can walk through at will. Uncle Wang unfolded the planning map he had just drawn, and the new moon saw that this was indeed the case, so that the artificially formed barrier was the safest.
"That's fine," Crescent Moon was relieved.
"Girl, the seedlings of flowers, fruits, trees and trees you ordered have been delivered, and you can start planting early tomorrow morning." The straight line that Wang Da just marked with a line is to prepare for planting trees.
"That's good, plant flowers and trees inside the wall, and many fruit trees outside the wall, but they are all big saplings that can last more than five years?" Although Xinyue has never planted land, she has consulted people who know a lot about farming, and she chooses trees that are easy to live and beautiful.
"Yes, the flowers and trees in the wall are all dug up from the roots of Rancho Mountain, and the slaves heard from the tree farmers that the plum blossoms may bloom that year."
"That's good, I thought there were few plum trees in the courtyard early on, and it was very lonely in winter, but now it's fine." The crescent moon walked forward, and the ground that had just been turned over was very soft.
"Girl, this other place, do you really plan..."Uncle Wang glanced at Xinyue with some embarrassment.
Seeing that he was planning, Xinyue said, "Uncle Wang, if you have something to say, just ask." ”
"Even in this other open space, it's good to have some scenery. Do you really want to grow fruits and vegetables? The embarrassment on Uncle Wang's face caused Xinyue to laugh, "Since it is a good field, why not use it to grow grain, vegetables and fruits now?" ”
"Girl, you are the lord of the imperial seal. In Jinling City, the magnificent Hou Mansion is also a pavilion with a unique water feature, will it not match your identity. Uncle Wang said.
Xinyue smiled, "This other mansion, counting Minhui, there are only two masters, how big can the two of us live, one courtyard is enough." And this is another village, there are farmers outside, what do farmers do when they see the vacant land? Nature is something that can be eaten. And it's already outside the courtyard walls of our residence. As for identity, I'm just like my mother, what if I'm a princess? It's just three meals a day, and you have to eat, and fresh melons and fruits are planted here, and I heard that there are paddy fields to the north. When we eat what we plucked from the field, we don't think it's fresh. This is to be taken care of by the farmers who have moved here, to give them wages, and to let them take away what we can't eat, so as to comfort them from leaving their original residences. ”
"Girl, the slave maid heard that the three families who moved here were originally the ones who had a lot of people in their own family and had no place to live, so they wanted to find vacant land to build a house, and now the girl not only gave them free vacant land, but also gave them land that could be cultivated and paid wages, I am afraid that they will be hated by other people in the village." Mama Wang was originally born in a peasant family, and she has also seen such things.
"Then pay the rent?" Xinyue glanced at Uncle Wang, Xinyue would also take care of the affairs of this Zhuangzi, but he didn't know about the farmers, so he could only mediate with Uncle Wang.
"The slave will look at it, and then give you an answer to the girl." Uncle Wang nodded, understanding what the new moon meant.
After solving these things, Xinyue looked at the rectification, and finally became a rigorous Beizhuang, he was going to live here for a long time, and he must clean up this place vividly.
After walking around the ground for a long time, Crescent Moon slowly walked back to her yard, and the corners of her mouth couldn't help but smile.
First, under the warm sun, take a walk, which makes her feel good, and secondly, it is also because of the letter of Cao's sister-in-law, Xu Xintai said that after being depressed for a few days, Xu Xintai also began to regain his strength, getting up early and going to bed early every day, practicing martial arts in the morning and practicing calligraphy in the afternoon, and accompanying Cao's sister-in-law to dinner in the evening. Seeing that he persuaded Xu Xintai, Xinyue asked him to use all the strength in his body, so that he would not have the energy to think nonsense, and he could be regarded as listening.
Mama Wang saw the happiness of the new moon from the side, and asked, "It seems that Master Hou has good news?" ”
"Yes, if my brother continues like this and comes out in two years, his original impulsive personality and personality will also change, and because of this beating, he can be more cautious and sober. Looking at it this way, his captivity is not all bad. The smile on the corner of Crescent's mouth deepened.
"Girl, what you say, who wants to be locked up in a courtyard for two years, but Master Hou listened to your words, girl. For the sake of the two children, Madame and you, you are just changing yourself. Mama Wang was also happy for Xu Xintai's change from the bottom of her heart.
Xinyue's side, since Xinyue was born, she has been by her side, except for the married Lan'er, only Mama Wang is left, she naturally has her heart towards the Hou Mansion, and she can be regarded as watching Xu Xintai grow up, and she cares about him very much.
"It's good to have a change. When my brother comes out, we will still be a family. When I was a child, I always envied Shan'er, because Rong Xu took care of Shan'er very much, as long as Rong Xu was there, Shan'er's nostrils would stretch out to the sky, and if she was wronged, she would go to Rong Xu. I wondered if I was by my brother's side, would he be so protective of me and wouldn't let anyone bully me. Speaking of the past, Xinyue's expression was still a little gloomy.
"Master Hou has no choice, the clan also has high hopes for him, and the requirements for him are very strict, it is this pressure that makes him have the temperament that is so easy to go his own way now. As long as the girl stays by the side of the Hou Ye in the future, the two of you are blood relatives after all, and they will always be reconciled. Mama Wang watched from the side, after this incident, the knot in the hearts of the two brothers and sisters may one day, it can really be untied.
